Waaaay back in the day, Civics were pretty cutting edge cars, not only in technology, but also in styling. Now it seems that they've settled into a competent, complacent mediocrity, competing with Toyota as to who can make the most benign, "beige" transportation appliances. Granted, as ever, there will typically be little "wrong" with the next Civic -- it will be well built, reliable, comfortable and efficient -- but a mere notch up in soullessness from, say, a Toyota Corolla.
I think cars such as the Mini, Fiesta, Mazda 2 or 3 are the far more interesting vehicles in this class.

So the Civic sedan just went from a pretty sweet looking little runabout I would definately drive OVER the coupe, to a blandmobile. I think the Corolla has more interesting lines than that thing

Currently this is my commuter. I enjoy it for what it is but they even ruined a few things for me in the 2010 refresh. This new model, there is no way they can appeal to an Si crowd. It really just looks like a Prius. I hate everything about it really. Just wanna pay off this Civic and get my Mustang. Still use this as my commuter more than likely.

And I completely agree about the new Civic. I think the front might be an improvement, hard to tell for sure though. But it looks like they lopped the rear end off a Kia and welded it in place. From arguably the best looking small sedan in the US to just another blandmobile.

Awesome, I drive an 07 Si Sedan in Galaxy Grey currently.

Ugh I can't believe I lost all the pictures of mine in a HD crash. I had a Galaxy Gray '06 Sedan, automatic. Not quite an Si but it was still a lot of fun. The little 1.8L actually had a nice growl to it. I miss that car... She was paid off with only 50,000 miles on it when I decided to trade it in on my 370Z.

the 4 door pulled the rear window design straight off the accord, other than that, the only thing I see different is the front bumper
the coupe looks pretty nice, though very very much like the accord coupe
